Riverwild - sorry to be late. I tend to come and go here fast and missed your post.

It took me two months to convience them I was in a relapse, but yes I have had it all. MRI, blood tests and 5 days of home IV steroids. MRI confirmed an active leasion, but thank goodness no new ones.

This center is of average size - they only did blood work 1X last year - now every 3mos. I also had to sign a pregnancy wavier or be urine tested every time. I've not seen a neuro since I started here (only the nurse). Now they are doing the nurse every 3mos an the neuro every 6. Yes, same here - the nurses ask tons of questions every time. My total time is at 2.5 hours due to all questions. I hate it!

I went to see another neuro, but was not impressed. However, he said that steroids do not cut down on the amount of disability from an attack. He stated they only cut down on the length of the attack. Has anyone heard this? The longer this goes on, the more sx I get, so this would not seem to be true, but unsure. Thanks
